Abstract
This package defines a single environment tabu to make all kinds of tabulars in text or in math mode
provided that they do not split across pages.
An environment longtabu based on D. Carlisle longtable package is also provided to make tabulars
that can stretch out on several pages, while keeping some features (not all of them) of the tabu
environment.
tabu is more flexible that tabular, tabular*, tabularx and array and extends the possibilities. All
tabulars in this document were made with the tabu environment, of course... The implementation is
optimised to minimise the measurements required to put all together.
b likes colors too, with special lines that are able to keep the alignment of the surrounded text...
U
and also like numbers with the possibility to embed siunitx S (or s) columns. b does not modify
U
any of the macro defined by array.sty or in the LATEX kernel1 .
b requires -TEX and the standard package array.sty. Natural widths of columns are computed
U
(but not printed ) by the code of varwidth by D. Arseneau. Finally longtabu is based on longtable.

tabu is like tabular in text mode and like array in math mode when
there is no X column in its preamble
longtabu is like longtable with the possibility to use tabu X columns and
vertical lines with the extended syntax.
{tabu} to hdimeni specifies the target width of the whole tabular. This is like
tabular with an automatic stretchability that can be overwritten
with @{\extracolsep {dimen}} in front of the preamble.
{tabu} spread hdimeni has no equivalent in LATEX: the final width is hdimeni wider than
the natural width that can be obtained with spread 0pt.

|[width,color] vertical lines have an optional parameter.

X[coef,align,type] X columns widths are adjusted in order for the whole tabular to
X[coef,align,type,$] fit the target width. The target width is a dimension either:
directly specified with {tabu} tohdimeni
computed from the natural width: {tabu} spreadhdimeni
by default \linewidth (or \linegoal with the linegoal package
option).
coef scales the widths of the X columns, if there are more than
one X column.
align is either r, c, l or j (or R C L J) and type can be p
(default), m or b.
X[$] makes a math X column (ie. >{$}X<{$})
X[$$] display math X column: >{$\displaystyle }X<{$}
X[coef,align,type] X columns widths are first computed with the absolute value:
|coef|. Then the width is made narrower down to the natural
width of the column if possible.
In any case, the final width does not exceed the one obtained
with X[|coef|].
X[X options]{S[S options]} Embed a siunitx S column into a tabu-X column.

\everyrow {code} Allows to add horizontal lines automatically for every row.
The settings can be changed inside the tabu

\rowfont [align]{font spec} Modify the font and optionally the alignment of each cell in one
row.

\tabulinesep =hdimeni More control on vertical spacing of lines in a way very close to
cellspaces method (dynamic vertical spacing adjustment).
\extrarowsep =hdimeni Control vertical spacing (\extrarowheight and
\extrarowdepth): fixed vertical spacing adjustment.
\tabulinesep generally gives better results.

\tabudecimal {\usermacro } a help to align numbers easily inside a column.

\savetabu {user-name} Saves the tabu preamble and its parameters. The command must

\tabulinestyle b observes TEX grouping levels for the settings of rule colors (\taburulecolor) and styles

\taburulecolor (\tabulinestyle), and \everyrow. There is however a subtility for nested tabu environments as
\taburowcolors described in this example:

Color of the Here the lines are drawn in blue

TEX group
But starting from here they are green coloured !
Color of the last And now a nested tabu guess what colour
end-of-line setting
Color of the is used for rules ?
TEX group
Inside the group, rule colors are blue After the group, rule colors are red again !
The rules are the following:

If outside of a tabu environment, the settings are local to the TEX group. Every tabular
drawn inside this group will inherit from the settings of that group.
If \taburulecolor (or \everyrow or \tabulinestyle) is used inside a cell of the tabular, this
is the same: the settings a local to that cell, and any nested tabular will inherit from the
setting of that cell.
When used after the end of a row, the settings are globally changed from that point until the
end of the tabular, or until a new setting is set at the end of a further row (TEXnically, this
is done inside a \noalign group). But a nested tabu does not inherit from this global
setting, and inherits from the settings of the TEX group instead.
If \arrayrulecolor or \doublerulesepcolor (from package colortbl) are used instead of
\taburulecolor then colors are globally overwritten.

Though the content of the tabu environment is collected for measuring purpose, it is possible to
insert verbatim material with the tabu variant of the environment. The content is then
carefully collected and re-scanned (with \scantokens). During the process, the @ letter is read
with the category code it has been given at the entry inside the environment (it is possible to say
\makeatletter before \begin {tabu }).
Example:

2 The tabu environment

2.1 tabu, tabu to and tabu spread
\begin {tabu} [pos] {tabular preamble}
\begin {tabu} to hdimeni [pos] {tabular preamble}
\begin {tabu} spread hdimeni [pos] {tabular preamble}

The tabu environment behaves mostly like tabular: the preamble is parsed by the macros in
array.sty and some measures are performed before printing. tabu improves tabular and array:
footnotes and index words are allowed inside tabu, unlike tabularx, footnote links are not
broken when compiled with hyperref. The syntax \footnote [number]{htexti} is allowed
in tabu and longtabu (this is not implemented for longtable yet...)
X columns are implemented with an optional parameter for the width-coefficient
U
(which can be negativ: see next section), the alignment (r, c, l, or j, and R, C, L or J for
b
8 / 101
U ragged2e settings) and the column type (p, m, or b).

tabu has a default target width when used with X columns, making nesting even easier.
You are used to the tabular environment in text mode, and array environment in math
mode, but tabu works in both modes and its name does not change... X columns are also
possible in math mode; delarray shortcuts for delimiters are available in both math and
text modes.
A tabu environment can contain another tabular of any kind: tabular, tabular , tabularx
or tabu itself can be placed in any cell of a tabu. Conversely, tabu can be placed in a
tabular, tabularx etc..
tabu provides facilities for vertical and horizontal lines, and for the insertion of verbatim
text inside X columns.
tabu is fully compatible with colortbl, delarray, hhline, makecell, booktabs, siunitx, dcolumn,
warpcol, etc.. When you are inside a tabu environment, you can use \raggedleft,
\raggedright and \centering without special care about \arraybackslash and conversely
\\ has its normal meaning inside a list of items that may appear in a X column...
\begin {tabu} tohdimeni is like tabular but the inter-columns space is given a stretchability of 1fil, in other
words @{\extracolsep {0pt plus 1fil}} is inserted by default at the beginning of the tabular
preamble, unless another value for \extracolsep is specified. Therefore tabu to fills in width
the specified hdimeni.
\begin {tabu} spreadhdimeni does a tabular whose width is hdimeni wider than its natural width.
@{\extracolsep {0pt plus 1fil}} is inserted by default if hdimeni> 0.
2.2 longtabu, longtabu to and longtabu spread

\begin {longtabu} [l | c | r] {tabular preamble}
\begin {longtabu} to hdimeni [l | c | r] {tabular preamble}
\begin {longtabu} spread hdimeni [l | c | r] {tabular preamble}
longtabu is just like tabu but page breaks are allowed between rows of the table. longtabu
is based on the longtable package which must be loaded, and all features of the longtable
environment works inside longtabu: \endhead, \endfirsthead, \endfoot, \endlastfoot and
\caption.
longtabu enhances the longtable environment with the possibility to use X columns and line
specifications for horizontal and vertical rules. longtabu is thus much easier than ltxtable.
The following commands provided for tabu do not work with longtabu:
Not Not (yet)

tabu command Comment

\tabucline X \tabucline does not care of page breaks
presently: use \hline instead.
\usetabu % but \savetabu and \preamble work.
mathematical mode % longtable is not designed to work in
math mode.
delarray shortcuts % a delimiter cannot be spanned over

pages...
\tabuphantomline % useless inside longtabu
However, tabu X columns, \rowfont, \extrarowsep, \tabulinesep, \tabudecimal, \tabucline
(with restrictions on page breaks), \taburulecolor, \tabulinestyle, \taburowcolors, \preamble,
{longtabu} to , {longtabu} spread work inside longtabu.

U 2.3 tabu X columns Mastering horizontal space

tabu X columns can be viewed as an enhancement of tabularx X columns, but do not interact
with them, for they are defined only for a short time during the parsing of the preamble:
width coefficients can optionally be given to X columns
ex. X[2.5]X[1] is the same as X[2.5]X and the same as X[5]X[2]
This means that the first X column will be two and a half wider than the second one or
that the first X column width will be 57 of the whole tabular width.
X[2.5] X
negativ width coefficients can be given to X columns:
ex. X[-2.5]X[1] or X[-2.5]X or X[-5]X[2]
In this case, the first X column will be at most two and a half wider than the
second one, and if the natural width of the first X column is finally less than 2.5
(the width of the second column) then it will be narrowed down to this natural width.
The following tabus have the same preamble:
\begin {tabu} to\linewidth {|X[2.5c]|X[c]|}:
X[2.5] X
Negativ coefficients make X columns close to standard X
l, c and r columns.
horizontal alignment specification is made easier with X[5,r]X[2,c] for example. Vertical
alignment can be specified as well with X[5,r,m]X[2,p,c] (commas are not required, but
X[2cm] or X[4pc] could be misunderstood not by TEX: by you...).
Modifier Meaning Default
l, c, r, j, L, C, R, J left, centered, right, justified j
p, m, b X column is converted into p, m or b column p
$ X[$] is a shortcut for: >{$}X<{$}
$$ X[$$] is a shortcut for: >{$\displaystyle }X<{$}
tabu X columns can be spanned with \multicolum.
tabu X columns can be used with tabu spread for small tabulars.
tabu X columns can contain any type of tabular, tabular*, tabularx or tabu without
special care about the syntax. tabu can also be put inside tabular, tabular* and tabularx.
As long as tabu with X columns has a default target, nesting tabu with X columns is easy.
Furthermore, the default global alignment of a nested tabu is t (for top) while the default
global alignment of a tabu in a paragraph is c (for centered).
The algorithm (or the arithmetic) to get the target width for tabu X columns is the
same as the one used by tabularx. \hfuzz is the tolerance for the whole tabular width.
We use -TEX \dimexpr
instead of TEX primitives (with round/truncate bias correction).
Convergence to the target width is optimised: the \halign preamble is not re-built at
each trial, but only expanded again, until the target is reached. Though optimized, the
process is the same as the one implemented for tabularx and in particular the content of
the tabu environment is collected as soon as a tabu X column is found in the preamble.
This implies restrictions on catcode modifications and verbatim text inside a tabu with X
columns.
If the width of the whole tabular is not specified with tabu to it is considered to be
\linewidth. The linegoal package option makes the default width equal to \linegoal.
Compilation must then be done with pdfTEX either in pdf or dvi mode, and package
linegoal is loaded. \linegoal requires pdfTEX for its \pdfsavepos primitive and the
zref-savepos: if the tabu is not alone in its paragraph ie.if the target is not \linewidth,
then two compilations (or more) are required to get the correct target.
Default target for nested tabu environments is always \linewidth, which equals to the
column width inside p, m, b and X columns.
U
As long as the \halign content is expanded more than once, protections against counters
b
10 / 101
U incrementation, whatsits (write) index entries, footnotes etc.. are set up: the mechanism of
tabularx is reimplemented and enhanced for tabu X columns. \tabuDisableCommands
can be used to neutralize the expansion of additional macros during the trials.
X columns with tabu spread

tabu X columns can be used with tabu spread to adjust the column widths of tabulars that
contain only small pieces of text. The question is: how to make a tabular the width of the line,
with 6 columns; the columns 1, 2, 5 and 6 are of equal widths and the widths of columns 3 and 4
are only one half. As possible solution:
\begin{tabu} to\linewidth{|X[2]|X[2]|X|X|X[2]|X[2]|} \hline
1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 & 6 \\\hline
\end{tabu}
1 2 3 4 5 6
But the text in each cell is very short: one single character, and you prefer the table to be tight,
but dont know the exact width of the whole:
\begin{tabu} spread 0pt{|X[2]|X[2]|X|X|X[2]|X[2]|} \hline
1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 & 6 \\\hline
\end{tabu}
1 2 3 4 5 6
But now its definitely too narrow, then give it some more space:
\begin{tabu} spread 2in{|X[2]|X[2]|X|X|X[2]|X[2]|} \hline
1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 & 6 \\\hline
\end{tabu}
1 2 3 4 5 6
tabu spread is useless with long columns: the following tabular was made with this preamble:
\begin{tabu} spread 3cm{@{}X[9]X[4]|X|}
"Like the air we breathe, Sherlock Holmes is everywhere. His pipe- There the text was too long,

Multicolumn in tabu
\tabuphantomline
The process of \multicolumn implies the TEX primitive \omit which discards the tabular
preamble for the spanned columns. Discarding the preamble means discarding the information
about the widths of the columns. This explains why the following example does not work
properly:
\begin{tabu}{|X|X|X[2]|} \tabucline-
\multicolumn2{|c|}{Hello} & World \\ \tabucline-
\end{tabu}
The correct result can be obtained by the mean of a phantom line, that will remain invisible
unless your preamble contains special @ or ! columns that prints some text:
\begin{tabu}{|X|X|X[2]|} \tabucline-
\multicolumn2{|c|}{Hello} & World \\ \tabucline-
\tabuphantomline
\end{tabu}
Hello World
Remember you may need \tabuphantomline in conjunction with \savetabu and \usetabu
with \multicolumn. Even if it is possible to add a \tabuphantomline in any line of the tabu,
it is a good practice to append it at the end of the tabu, for it may introduce indesirable side
effects on vertical alignment otherwise, when tabu is nested inside another tabular.
In particular, \tabuphantomline should not be followed by \cr or \\ or \tabularnewline...
The need for this command could disappear in a future release, but this requires a complete new
implementation of \multicolumn...
2.4 \tabulinesep and \extrarowsep Mastering vertical space

\tabulinesep =hdimeni
\tabulinesep =^hdimeni
\tabulinesep =_ hdimeni
\tabulinesep =^hdimeni_hdimeni
\tabulinesep =_hdimeni^hdimeni
\tabulinesep sets the minimal vertical space allowed between the cell content and the cell
border. The macro may be prefixed by \global (even inside a \noalign group)4 .
It is possible to set the top limit (a TEX dimension called \abovetabulinesep) and the
bottom limit independently with the syntaxes:
\tabulinesep =^hdimeni sets \abovetabulinesep
\tabulinesep =_hdimeni sets \belowtabulinesep
\tabulinesep =_hdimeni^hdimeni sets \belowtabulinesep and \abovetabulinesep.
These parameters can be used in text and math modes to give more vertical space between lines,
especially when using math formulae.
Examples (with \tracingtabu = 3 and interfaces-\papergraduate to see the struts):
4. However \tabulinesep is not a dimension ! You cant test, for example, \ifdim \tabulinesep > 0pt ! Test
U
\abovetabulinesep and \belowtabulinesep instead, if needed.

\tabulinesep is a soft parameter, and leads to rows which do not share the same height.
\extrarowsep =hdimeni
\extrarowsep =^hdimeni
\extrarowsep =_ hdimeni
\extrarowsep =^hdimeni_hdimeni
\extrarowsep =_hdimeni^hdimeni
\extrarowsep is an extra vertical space which is added to each row, inconditionally. array.sty

provides the TEX dimension \extrarowheight and b provides \extrarowdepth in addition.
U
As a result, the rows can share the same height/depth but the spacing is not dynamic.
\tabulinesep can be used even with positive values for \extrarowsep, for tabu inserts only one
strut per row and vertical spacing computations are possible in all cases.
The macro can be prefixed by \global as well, even inside a \noalign group5 .
Set \extrarowheight and \extrarowdepth to different values, with the syntaxes:
\extrarowsep =^hdimeni sets \extrarowheight
\extrarowdepth is unchanged
\extrarowsep =_hdimeni sets \extrarowdepth
\extrarowheight is unchanged
\extrarowsep =_hdimeni^hdimeni sets \extrarowdepth and \extrarowheight.
Both \extrarowheight and \extrarowdepth are scaled by \arraystretch (a scaling macro6 of
array.sty) if \arraystretch > 1...
These parameters can be used in text and math modes.

\extrarowheight and \extrarowdepth instead, if needed.

In this example, the big tabu is: \begin {tabu} to\linewidth {XX[-1$]}.
The nested tabu (in math mode) uses delarray shortcut: its preamble is: \begin{tabu}({rl}.
\tabulinesep has been set to 2pt. Horizontal rules are booktabs \toprule and \bottomrule.
array tabu tabu spread 1em

Here, vertical lines are made with delarray shortcuts: $\begin{tabu} spread 1em |{cc}|

Vertical lines inside the tabular preamble gives:

This was an example of \savetabu...\usetabu to keep the alignment.
3 Lines leaders and colors inside tabu

3.1 First important remark
The features provided in this section are quite experimental: they are not generally taken

for good typography. You can use b with package booktabs for example, which provides
U
properly designed commands for horizontal rules in tabulars. arydshln is pretty good too, but it
modifies a huge amount of macros of array.sty, something that b does not.
U
Lines in tabu printed in this document are mostly made with booktabs.
3.2 Vertical lines: | has an optional parameter

Inside tabu environment, the vertical line marker | has an optional argument which is the
width of the vertical rule. The default width remains \arrayrulewidth of course. The optional
argument for | can also contain the name of a color. color names are only possible, not a color
specification by the mean of a color model. The width of the line if specified, must come before
the color name and... as for X columns parameters, commas are optional.
Example:
\begin {tabu}{||[5pt]|c|c||[5pt]|}
The tabu you see on the
Hello & World
ts im
Hello World left was made with the

nm er
en bat
ro V u
\end {tabu}
vi rt ab
code on the right.

en nse e t
s
to U
\begin {tabu}{||[5pt red]|c|c||[5pt Indigo]|}

The tabu you see on the
i
Hello & World

Hello World left was made with the
\end {tabu}
code on the right.
This example was printed inside a tabu whose preamble is: X[1m] X[m] X[-2m]
It is not a necessary to protect the optional argument with braces: [{...}]. because b takes
U
care the | token to be rewritten before any other column type (the same for tabu X columns,
and siunitx S columns). The rewriting process is divided into three stages under control inside a
U tabu environment.
b

U 3.3 Multiple \firsthline and \lasthline

\firsthline [extratabsurround] make multiple lines !
\firstline [extratabsurround]\hline
\lasthline [extratabsurround]
\lastline [extratabsurround]\hline
\firsthline and \lasthline are defined in array.sty and can be used to preserve the alignment of
text, when using horizontal lines. Besides, the optional argument can be used to change (locally)
the \extratabsurround dimension.
The example of array documentation is:
Tables with no versus Tables with no versus
line line
commands commands
used used
tables used.
tables with some used. with some
line line
commands commands
with \hline
with \firsthline and
(text alignment is not
\lasthline
preserved)
Now with tabu you can make double, triple (or more) \firsthline or \lasthline as in:
Tables
\begin {tabu}[t]{c} Tables with no versus
with no\\ line \\ commands \\ used line
\end {tabu} commands
versus tables
ent
used
alig op
\begin {tabu}[t]{|c|}
nm
T
\firsthline \hline \hline \hline tables with some used.

with some \\ line \\ commands \\ line
\lasthline \hline \hline \hline commands
\end {tabu} used.
Tables
\begin {tabu}[t]{c} Tables with no versus
with no\\ line \\ commands \\ used line
\end {tabu} commands
alig ttom
versus tables
ent
used
nm
\begin {tabu}[b]{|c|}
Bo
\firsthline \hline \hline \hline with some

with some \\ line \\ commands \\ line
\lasthline \hline \hline \hline tables commands used.
\end {tabu} used.
\firsthline \firsthline \firsthline is equivalent to: \firsthline \hline \hline

and also to: \firstline \hline \hline \hline
But the optional argument must come in first position: \firsthline [extratabsurround] ...
The same for \lastline.
In yellow you can see the \extratabsurround strut, because \tracingtabu = 3 for this tabu

U 3.4 More style for lines

\taburulecolor {hrule colori}
\taburulecolor |hdouble rule sep colori|{hrule colori}
\taburulecolor sets (in a locally-global way) the color to be used for \hline, \firsthline,
\lasthline and also vertical lines if the standard line style is used (the standard line style is
active after \tabulinestyle {} or after \tabureset).
The optional parameter enclosed by vertical bars: |hdouble rule sep colori| is the color to set
between two adjacents rules. If not specified, double (or triple...) rules are separated by a
vertical space (\vskip).
\ t a b u r u l e c o l o r | l i m e |{ D a r k S l a t e B l u e }
\ a r r a y r u l e w i d t h =1mm \ d o u b l e r u l e s e p =2mm

\ end { tabu } \TabU package ! \ par And the next paragraph follows...
And t h e n e x t p a r a g r a p h f o l l o w s . . .
\tabulinestyle {hline style specificationi}

\tabulinestyle sets the line style for vertical (|) and horizontal lines (ie.\tabucline: \hline,
\firsthline etc. are not modified by \tabulinestyle)
The line specification is of the form:
3pt rule color on 4pt dash color off 5pt gap color
rule color on 4pt dash color off 5pt gap color
on 4pt dash color off 6pt gap color
3pt rule color
on 4pt dash color
off 5pt
3pt
Named style defined by \newtabulinestyle
Well... any parameter is optional. Obviouly the rule color is the same as the dash color and the
former overwrites the latter if both are given.
Your color names can contain spaces but:
If the first character in the line specification is not a letter, then it is taken as a dimension:
the thickness of the line. Otherwise, the default thikness is used ie.\arrayrulewidth.
Your color names must not contain any series of characters that match one the patterns:
on? off?
where ? is a character of category 12, different from ! and possibly preceded by spaces. I
dont think this is a real limitation...
\newtabulinestyle {hstyle=line spec., style=line spec., ...i}babel

This command defines a line style to be used in the first optional argument of \tabucline (horizal
lines) or the optional argument of |(vertical lines) or with \tabulinestyle (locally-global style).
Style names and color names are babel-protected.
\tabucline [style or spec.]{start-end}

\tabucline is an attempt to give a versatile command to make horizontal lines:
\tabucline is pretty good with vertical lines even if the thickness of the line grows up,
U
b
16 / 101
U \tabucline takes care of \extrarowheight,

\tabucline can make horizontal dashed lines, with a pgf/TikZ syntax:
\tabucline [hwidthi onhdashi offhgapi]{hfirst columni-hlast columni}
alternatively, you can give \tabucline a \hbox to make a leader with it: The hspec.i
must then begin with \hbox, \box or \copy,
finally you can give \tabucline a color name, after the line specification.
Any parameter can be omitted.
\tabucline [1pt on 1.5pt off 2pt]{1-4} draws a horizontal dashed line of width 1pt.
Dashes are 1.5pt long and gap width is 2pt. The
line is drawn between columns 1 and 4. Here
there are only 2 columns and the line stops at
column 2.
[1pt on 1.5pt off 2pt]
\tabucline [1.5pt]{-} draws a horizontal solid line of width 1.5pt
between the first and the last column.
[1.5pt]
\tabucline {2-} draws a horizontal solid line of width
\arrayrulewidth between the second column
and the last one.
default
\tabucline [on 2pt red]{-5} draws a horizontal dashed line between columns
1 and 5 of width \arrayrulewidth. Dashed are
2pt long and gap width is 4pt (the default).
[on 2pt red]
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Define the line style Use the line style
\newtabulinestyle {myline=0.4pt on 2.5pt off 1pt red} \tabucline [myline]{-}
Or use a leader or a box to make a leader with it
directly in the argument of \tabucline
\tabucline [\hbox {$\scriptstyle \star $}]{1-3}
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Dash Gap Dash Gap... ...or leader

Dashed or dotted

And below is the default This one was thick Interesting ?
3.5 Automatic horizontal lines and row colors

\everyrow {code}
\everyrow can be used to insert horizontal lines automatically:
\ b e g i n { tabu } t o . 5 \ l i n e w i d t h {cX [ 2 mc ] X} \ t a b u c l i n e [ 1 pt ] -
\ everyrow {\ t a b u c l i n e [ on 2 pt ] - }
This i s &a s m a l l example &of a \ t e x t t { tabu } \\
which &automatically &inserts \\
a h o r i z o n t a l &line a f t e r &each o f i t s row \ everyrow {} \\ \ t a b u c l i n e [ 1
pt ] -
\ end { tabu }
This is a small example of a tabu

which automatically inserts

a horizontal line after each of its
row
\everyrow can be used in longtabu as well. The syntax is like \everycr: a token-like syntax,
and braces are mandatory: \everyrow {argument}.
U
b

U
\taburowcolors [first line]hnumberi{first .. last}
\taburowcolors sets the alternate colors to be used on every row of the tabular. The command
can be used before a tabu environment or inside it, at the end of a row.
The optional parameter [first line] tells the first row from which background colors are starting
this optional parameter has no effect when \taburowcolors is used at the end of a row:
background are starting immediately in this case.
hnumberi is the number of colors in the color series. If not specified, it defaults to 2 (for alternate
rows color).
Finally hfirsti and hlasti are the first and the last colors in the colorseries.
Example:
\ t a b u r o w c o l o r s [ 2 ] 3{ Crimson ! 3 0 . .
ForestGreen !40} This is just a test
\ t a b u r u l e c o l o r | GreenYellow |{ OrangeRed }

3 &This i s Crimson \\
4 &This i s F o r e s t G r e e n \\ 4 This is ForestGreen
\ end { tabu }
\tabureset

To go back to standard parameters, b provides the command \tabureset which basically
U
does:
\tabulinesep = 0pt \extrarowsep = 0pt \extratabsurround = 0pt
\tabulinestyle {} \everyrow {} \taburulecolor ||{}
\taburowcolors {}
4 Modifying the font and the alignment in one row: \rowfont

\rowfont [alignment]{font specification}
Inside a tabu environment, you can modify the font for each cell in a row. \rowfont has
priority over column font specification, exactly like \rowcolor (package colortbl) has priority over
\columncolor.
The alignment of each cell in one row can also be changed to:
l = left or for ragged2e settings: L
c = center C
r = right R
j = justify J
Any other value for the optional halignmenti parameter is silently ignored. If ragged2e is not
loaded, L R C and J are synonymous with the lowercase equivalent.

5 Saving and restoring a tabu

\savetabu {huser-namei}
The command \savetabu can be used at the end of any line of a tabu environment to save the
parameters of a tabu environment. The saving is always global. This allows to easily make
tabulars which share exactly the same shape throughout your document. This can also be used
as a kind of tabbing environment which is able to remember the tabs positions...
If the huser-namei has been used before, an info is displayed in the .log file and the previous
settings are overwritten.
With the \tracingtabu > 0, informations about the saved parameters are reported in the .log
file.
Recalling saved parameters are done with \usetabu (complete recovery) or \preamble (partial
recovery of the preamble only).
\usetabu {huser-namei}
\usetabu is the complement of \savetabu: it can be put alone in the tabu preamble instead of
the usual columns specifications to restore any previous settings saved with \savetabu.
The huser-namei must exist otherwise, you get an error.
\usetabu is a help to make several tabulars of exactly the same shape, same target,
same preamble. The only parameter that can be changed is the optional vertical position
parameter for the whole tabular.
\usetabu does not work with longtabu .
\usetabu locally restores:
the preamble7 .
the vertical position [c], [b] or [t], unless another position is specified.
the target width of the tabu in points: the saved target width does not contain any
control sequence: it is fixed and stored in points.
the width of tabu X columns: those widths are not calculated any more even in the
case of negativ coefficients and X columns are directly transformed into p, m or b
columns of the same widths as the ones that where calculated at the time of \savetabu
\tabcolsep (or \arraycolsep in math mode) \extrarowheight, \extrarowdepth,
\arraystretch and \extratabsurround
\arrayrulewidth, \doublerulesep and the parameters for \everyrow \taburulecolor,
\tabulinestyle, and \taburowcolors
\minrowclearance, (package colortbl)

\abovetabulinesep and \belowtabulinesep are not restored, because they are related to the
content of the tabular rather than to its shape.
Example:
\ t a b c o l s e p =12pt \ e x t r a r o w s e p=1mm
\ t a b u l i n e s t y l e { on 1 pt F o r e s t G r e e n }
U
7. The complete \halign-preamble is restored.
b
19 / 101
U \ b e g i n { tabu } t o . 7 \ l i n e w i d t h {|XXX|X [ c ] | } \ s a v e t a b u {mytabu} \ t a b u c l i n e -

This & i s & tabu & package \\ \ t a b u c l i n e -
\ end { tabu }
This is tabu package
\ tabureset
\ b e g i n { tabu }{\ u s e t a b u {mytabu }} \ tabucline -
\ multicolumn 3{| c }{ This i s tabu } & package \\ \ t a b u c l i n e -
\ tabuphantomline
\ end { tabu }

If one day you use tabu, you will have the idea to restore a tabu while modifying its target, or
adding new columns... \savetabu and \usetabu have not been thought for this purpose, and
you may have unexpected results.
\preamble {huser-namei}
\preamble can also be used after \savetabu. This is a variant of \usetabu that locally restores:
the tabu (or longtabu) preamble.
the vertical position [c], [b] or [t] (or [c], [l] or [r] for longtabu), unless another position
is specified.
the tabu / longtabu target width, unless another target is specified.
Any other tabular parameter is not restored.
Put \preamble {huser-namei} alone inside the tabu (or longtabu) preamble in place of the
usual columns specifications.
\preamble works exactly as if you defined a custom environment for tabu.
\preamble works with longtabu .
Example (continued...):
\ t a b u l i n e s t y l e {1 pt o f f 1 pt }
\ b e g i n { tabu } t o \ l i n e w i d t h {\ preamble {mytabu }} \ t a b u c l i n e -
This &is &tabu &package \\ \ t a b u c l i n e -
\ end { tabu }
\tabcolsep, rule colors etc. are not restored from \savetabu: the only tabu preamble is restored.
6 Some other features

6.1 Printing numbers inside tabu with numprint and siunitx
\tabudecimal
b provides a facility to print numbers inside columns. This facility is not implemented to
U
replace siunitx S and s columns or numprint n and N columns or other packages that provide
alignment such as warpcol, dcolumn or rccol. It just make easy to apply a macro you get already
on each number in a column of a tabu.
\tabudecimal has been developped mainly because it makes possible to align numbers inside
tabu X columns.
U
b
20 / 101
U
\tabudecimal {huser-macroi}
\tabudecimal can be used in the preamble of a tabu before a column specification. The
huser-macroi is a macro with one parameter that has to be defined before.
Example with \numprint:

\def\usermacro#1{\numprint[\officialeuro]{\zap@space #1 \@empty}}
\nprounddigits{2} \npprintnull \npthousandsep{\,} \npunitseparator{~}
\rowfont [c]{\bf } January & February \\ January February ...

12.324 & 745.32 \\ 12,32 e 745,32 e ...
21.13 &0 \\ 21,13 e 0,00 e ...
213.3245 & 12.342 \\ 213,32 e 12,34 e ...
2143.12 & 324.325 \\ 2 143,12 e 324,33 e ...
\end {tabu}
Example with \SI:

\def\usermacro#1{\SI[group-four-digits=true, % thousand separator
round-mode=places, % round numbers
round-precision=2, % with 2 decimal digits
round-integer-to-decimal=true, % add trailing 0 if necessary
per-mode=symbol]{#1}{\officialeuro\per\kilo\gram}}
\begin{tabu}spread 0pt{|[GreenYellow]*2{>{\tabudecimal \usermacro}X[r]|[GreenYellow]}} ...
As you can see, the columns widths are exactly
January February ... the same, whatever their content.
12.32 e/kg 745.32 e/kg ...
Here \tabulinesep has been set to 3pt.
21.13 e/kg 0.00 e/kg ...
213.32 e/kg 12.34 e/kg ...
2 143.12 e/kg 324.33 e/kg ...
You should know how it works...

Yes you should know how it works to avoid problems. tabu has a small scanner based on
\futurelet to grab all numbers, blank spaces, commas and dots + and sign and also the letter
e and E for exponants. The scanner stops as soon as something else than a number, blank space,
comma, dot, +, , e, E is found, and even if it is a macro that contains a number.
This explains why there is \zap@space in the definition of \usermacro: because the scanner
scans blank spaces and because \numprint does not allow blank spaces in its mandatory
argument, quite strangely...
6.2 Paragraph indentation

tabu takes care of paragraph indentation when it is used with X columns and its default target,
no matter if it has been loaded or not with the linegoal option. Example with LATEX default:
\parindent = 20pt.
This is tabu with its default target in an indented paragraph.
This is tabu with its default target, preceded by \noindent

This is tabularx with target: \linewidth in an indented paragraph.
This is tabularx with target: \linewidth, preceded by \noindent

7 Differences between tabu, tabular, tabularx and longtable

7.1 Paragraph indentation
See Paragraph indentation
7.2 Custom environments

Unlike tabularx, it is possible to define your own environment using tabu:
\newenvironment{foo}
{\begin{tabu}{X[1.2]|[1pt gray]X}}
{\end{tabu}}
tabu environment, even when X columns are used, You can also use the commands \savetabu
may appear in the definition of your custom tabular \preamble (or \usetabu) for this pur-
environment. pose.
7.3 Inversion of tokens

When you typeset the following tabular:
\begin{tabular}{|>{\bfseries}>{ before }l<{ one }<{ two }|}
cell content
\end{tabular}
You get the following result: before cell content two one
The word before is not bold, and two comes before one.
The reason is explained in the documentation of array.sty, and is related to the array environment
in math mode when using \newcolumntype.
This rather strange inversion of tokens may be justified in math mode (otherwise, errors may
occur) but not in text mode in our opinion. Inside a tabu environment, when not in math mode,
the tokens are not reversed and you get the intuitively expected result:
before cell content one two

In math mode however, tokens are in the reverse order in the tabu environment like they are in
the array environment.

U 7.4 Improved process for rewriting columns (for keen readers)

Any tabular that does not split accross pages is made with the following process:
initialisation
\hbox

\begingroup

\@mkpream {preamble} @mkpream group

\endgroup

\@array

end of \hbox \halign {\@preamble . . . tabular content }

For more details, see the Flow chart of expansion.

\@mkpream works in two times inside a (semi-simple) group:
First the rewriting process:
Each special column in the tabular preamble is transformed into one the columns
defined by array.sty.
Second the building of the \halign preamble:
The rewritten preamble is parsed and transformed in a preamble for the TEX
primitive \halign. The result is stored into the \@preamble macro.
Any special columns of tabu are defined only inside the @mkpream group.
In the following example, you get an error with tabular and no error with tabu. With tabular,
and siunitx S column, the rewriting process is as follow:
Inside tabular:
1) Rewrite S: not found because inside {...}
\documentclass {minimal} 2) Rewrite
\usepackage {numprint,siunitx,xcolor}
\usepackage {tabu} 3) Rewrite n column defined by package
\begin {document} numprint
Then the n in green is rewritten
\begin {tabular}{*2{S[color=green]}} problem
123,45 Inside tabu:
\end {tabular} 1) Rewrite
2) Rewrite | (there is none here)
\begin {tabu}{*2{S[color=green]}} go back
123,45 3) Rewrite
\end {tabu} 4) Rewrite |
5) Rewrite S
\end {document} 6) Rewrite n not found because S was
rewritten before, according to siunitx defini-
tion.
The process of rewriting columns is usually longer inside tabu than inside tabular, but conversely
tabu with X columns is optimised compared to tabularx, because the preamble is built only once,
and not rebuilt before each trial as tabularx does. Thus tabu is much quicker than tabularx.
The process of rewriting is very sensitiv to the order in which columns are actually rewritten.
This becomes critical when columns are defined with an optional argument like tabu X and |
columns or siunitx S column.

8.1 The debugshow package option
\tracingtabu
\tracingtabu = 1, 2, 3 or 4
The control sequence \tracingtabu has the same effect as the debugshow option:
b will report the widths it computes at each attempt to read the target, when X
U
columns are used.
Saved informations on the tabu are reported in the .log file when \savetabu is used.
\tracingtabu = 2 gives more information on the measures of the natural widths.
\tracingtabu = 3 shows the struts inserted inside the tabu environment and gives more
information about the measures of the height and depth of every row.
\tracingtabu = 4 displays information on the insertions made by \tabucline.
Typical information in the .log file:
(tabu) Try tabu X tabu Width Target Coefs Update
(tabu) 1) 386.67296pt 797.34592pt 386.67296pt 2.0pt -205.33649pt
(tabu) 2) 181.33647pt 386.67294pt 386.67296pt 2.0pt 0.00002pt
(tabu) 2) Target reached (hfuzz=0.1pt) ****************
What does it mean?
1) The first attempt was performed with X=386.67296pt
The tabu width (797.34592pt) exceeded the target by 410.67296pt.
Thus X has been updated: 410.67296pt /2 = 205.33649pt and then:
X = 386.67296pt 205.33649pt = 181.33647pt
2) The second attempt lead to a tabu width of 386.67294pt: the target is reached.
The final width of each X column is the product of tabu X by its width coefficient.
8.2 The delarray package option

delarray option has the single effect to load delarray.sty for delimiters shortcuts around tabu.
Delimiters shortcuts work both in math and text mode.
8.3 The linegoal package option

With the linegoal option, the default target for tabu with X columns is \linegoal instead of
\linewidth. The linegoal package must be loaded and compilation must be done with pdfTEX,
otherwise, a warning is displayed and the linegoal option has no effect: the default target
remains \linewidth. \linegoal works with pdfTEX in pdf mode and in dvi mode.
If for some reason, you wish to turn down the linegoal option in your document, you can say (in
a group for example): \let\tabudefaulttarget=\linewidth
In any case, specifying the target overwrites the default: \begin {tabu} to\linewidth
9 Corrections of some bugs (available only inside tabu)

9.1 Correction for colortbl and arydshln: compatibility with delarray

Both colortbl and arydshln forget the control sequence \@arrayright in their implementation,
quite strangely because both of them take care of \@arrayleft. As a result, delarray shortcuts for
delimiters around a tabular does not work if colortbl and/or arydshln are loaded.
Those control sequences are used by the delarray package to put variable size delimiters around

U the array:
\begin {tabu} \{{X}. \left \{\begin {tabu}{X}
... ...
is like:
\end {tabu} \end {tabu} \right .
9.2 Correction for arydshln: @ columns

A bug in \adl@xarraydashrule: !-arg columns (class 1) and @-arg columns (class 5) should be
treated the same as far as rules are concerned.
With this correction, the known problem number 1 in arydshln documentation is solved.
10 To do for even better tabus

In decreasing order of priority:
Make double \tabucline compatible with colortbl \doublerulesepcolor
Multiple \tabucline between different columns: extended specs:
\tabucline [line spec]{start-stop, start-stop}[line spec]{start-stop} ...
Reimplement \multicolumn in order to allow the X token in \multicolumn preamble.
Provide \multicell to allow spanning columns and rows at the same time.
Presently, longtabu with X columns works only if \LTchunksize is greater than the number
of rows. I compiled a longtabu of 56 pages on my PC with \LTchunksize = 2 000 without
problem. Presently \LTchunksize is set to 10 000 during trials when longtabu contains X
columns.
Make \tabucline work with page breaks (one line on the top of the page, one line on the
bottom of the previous).

U
11 Technical notice and Implementation
11.1 Drawing a tabular - The b approach
U
b has a different approach than almost any other package providing facilities for tabulars. colortbl and
U
arydshln both put the cells contents into a box for measuring purpose, and then use the dimensions of each
box to make their setups:
colortbl needs the dimensions of the box to put a rule in the background of the cell,
arydshln needs the dimensions to set the length of its leaders (dash lines).
This is achieved by modifying the macros defined in array.sty to insert columns inside the \halign preamble.
Instead, b proceeds as follow:
U
1. It first measures (if there are some negative width coefficients, or if tabu spread is used) the natural
widths of the cells / the columns,
2. Then it always measures the height and depth of each cell / row,
3. Thereafter, the tabular is printed exactly as if array.sty was entitle to print it: no extra boxing of
the cells material. The measurements have been stored and can be used to set the struts (only one per
row) and the lengths of vertical leaders.
4. No macros of array.sty is modified at stage 3.
b material inserted in the tabular for vertical leaders, \rowfont etc. is put inside the special free
U
tokens provided by array.sty:

A vertical leader is put inside a ! column: !{vertical leader}
Changing font and alignment in one row requires some setup in > tokens: >{rowfont material}.
This way, the commands of array.sty that build each column definition (or preamble, in the sense of
\halign) are never modified.
11.2 Algorithms
tabu to target
The algorithm of \tabu@arith computes the desired widths to reach the target. In any case, only one
measure of the tabular is required to get the widths for all columns. Here we describe the method with an
example and some equations too to show that this handle all cases in generality.
Notations and initialisation of X In the case of tabu to the target T = 300 is given : it is the target
specified by the user or the default tabu target which is \linewidth hparindent correctioni or \linegoal.
Each X column has a width coefficient which is given too (or default to 1). The coefficients are: c1 , c2 , . . . cn .
X is the main dimension that drives the widths of all columns with a non negative coefficient, and limit the
widths of columns with a negative coefficient.
Then we have first:
Coef ci
P
c1 c2 c3 c4 c5 c6
1 2 5 2 2 3 15
Target T 300
Some coefficients are negative and we have to measure the natural widths of the corresponding columns, for
columns always have a width:
if ci > 0
(
ci X
i =
Min (|ci | X, i ) if ci < 0 with i T i
i is the natural width of the column in the sense that it is the maximum of the natural widths of each
cell in the ith X column, limited to the tabu target: i T i.
U
b
26 / 101
U
The whole width of the tabular is always:

\tabcolsep

wd(table) = i + incompressible material vertical lines/leaders thickness
X

i non X columns

and should finally be equal to T , by the correct computation of the i .

So what is X at first ? Columns that have a non negative coefficients always have a width equal to
i = ci X therefore, if we only have non negative coefficients, we can safely set:
T
X=X
ci
i
then: i i = i ci X T at the first trial. But this is not the same if some coefficients are negative,
P P
because in this case the column width i can shrink until its natural width i and may be until to 0pt !
And then if every column has a negative coefficient, one of them can have a width close to the target T . We
have to ensure that the first measure of the natural widths does not limit them artificially:
i ci < 0 = |ci | X T
ci > 0 = ci X T
P
i
ci >0

T T
And finally, for the measure: X = Max Max ; P

i |ci | ci
ci <0 i
ci >0

First step of the algorithm: reducing the width After having measured the table we get: wd(table) = 2100.
The incompressible material is 21001970 = 130 wide and the gap to the target is = 2100300 = 1800.

Here we are in the case where the table width:
wd(table) = i + incompressible material = T +

P
i
= i + incompressible material i + I = T
P 0 P
i i
Without any measure, we can say that the final table width will be less than the target, if we choose
X 0 . The free space to share among the X columns (computed with X 0 ) is now 0 = T ( i 0i + I) =
P
300 (168.67 + 130) = 1.33, where I is the incompressible material.
Giving space We say that a column is saturated (ie.full) if its natural width is greater than |ci | X, or all
the same that i 0 have a natural width which is
always equal to ci X: in other words, a column with a non negative coefficient is always saturated.
Giving space (or refunding space) to the columns must be done in priority to the saturated columns. If all
columns are finally underfull, then we will distribute the extra space to each, according a distribution rule.
But this case can only occur if i ci < 0 because we first choosed X so that:
T
X P
ci
i
ci >0
and hence, the sum of the widths of the non negative columns exceeds the target.
Lets rank the columns widths:
01 1
02 2 we first give space

03 3 to the saturated columns
1, 2 and 3
4 |c4 | X
Because of the saturation, the total amount of space to give: || shall be shared among the columns
according to their widths coefficients. We shall not give too much space: the columns shall remain saturated.
Let 0 < ||0 the amount of space to give, then after the operation:
1 + 2 + 3 = 01 + 02 + 03 +
= |c1 | X 0 + |c2 | X 0 + |c3 | X 0 +
||0
Lets say X = X 0 + then its possible, without any measure, to compute:
|ci |
P

i + 4 |ci | X + 4 |ci | X 0 + 0 = 0i + 0 T I
X X X X
i i i i

Or for clarity: i + I = wd(table) T and the new free space to share is now :

Now if the width of the table is less that the target, because 1) every column has a negative coefficient and
2) their natural widths are so small than the tabular dont fill the wanted horizontal space, the algorithm
artificially raise the natural widths, according to a linear distribution:

tabu spread dimen

The case of tabu spread is interesting and quite complex...
Here, the aim of the game is to give a target to the table, depending on its natural width. tabu has a
default target (\linewidth in general, but it is possible to \let \tabudefaulttarget to another value... for
example \linegoal) which is a maximum for the final target of tabu spread. The case where the spread is
0pt is not simpler nor more difficult.
If every column has a negative coefficient, its rather easy because either the table exceeds the target, and
then the new target will be the default target (the maximum), or the table width is less than the default
target and we fix the new target to be that width + the spread, in the limit of the default target.
The condition that must hold on coefficient is not restritive if every column has a negative coefficient
i
because if you say, for example: X = Max then:
i |ci |
i = Min (i ; |ci | X)
X X
i i
is true. Its always possible to find a X such that the behaviour anounced in the documentation is observed !
Then lets get some non negative coefficients. The natural widths of such columns must be measured, but
the natural width of the tabular is not the same, for the proportions between column widths expressed by
their positive coefficient ci must be respected.
The real natural width of the tabular, which observe the proportions between columns with a non negative
coefficient is:
i

wd(table) + Max i > wd(table)
X X
ci
i ci i i
ci >0
ci >0 ci >0
U
b
29 / 101
U
This quantity is computed, b adds the spread and fix the new target to the sum, in the limit of the
U
default target.

T T
Then X is initialized such that: X = Max Max ; P

i |ci | ci
ci <0 i
ci >0
and the algorithm described in the former section works, without any new measurement of the tabular.
Unless this was not possible or deemed inconvenient for clarity, the code is presented in the same
order it executes.

tabu spread with X column

In the case of tabu spread with X columns, the process is the same as the one described for tabu to
with X columns. However, the first trial is different because we have first to measure the natural width of
the tabular. The process is the following:
\tabu@target is first set to \linewidth (or \linegoal with the linegoal package option).
The X column corresponds to a \vbox with \hsize fixed to \tabu@target.
Inside this \vbox the cell content is written into a \hbox whose width is limited to \tabu@target.
This \hbox is captured into the box register \tabu@box.
At the end of the cell, the \badness of the \hbox is checked:
if the \badness is > 1000 then the text is too long and tabu spread is useless: tabu to
\tabu@target give the same result.
Otherwise, we get the natural width of the cell content by:
\setbox \tabu@box \hbox {\unhbox \tabu @box}
At the end of the first trial, \tabu@spreadarith checks if:
width(tabular) + spread < \linewidth (or \linegoal)

if not, then tabu to\tabu@target give the same result

Otherwise, the target for tabu to will be:
natural width Xi

width(tabular) + spread natural widths Xi + Maxi coefi

11.6 Some constants
Here we define the constants used by b : TEX registers and a few helper macros.
U
When working inside a tabular (ie.\halign) each cell is a TEX group. Probably the most important
property of each register defined here is whether it is global or not. A local register does not suffer, never,
any global assignment.
TEX registers
taburow LATEX counter that globally stores the value of the current row. It is updated at \everyrow, rather than at
\everycr8 . \thetaburow expands to the (arabic) number.
This counter can be read by the user, but she must not change its value because it is used internally to
store the height/depth of every row, for vertical spacing adjustment (and vertical leaders).
\tabu@nbcols TEX counter that locally saves the total number of columns of the tabu. Special @ and ! columns
are not counted (they are not real columns for \halign, but only insertions into the preamble).
The value is used by \tabucline to ensure that the leader does not jut out over the last column...
\tabu@cnt TEX counter that locally stores the number of trials. Incidentally, it is also temporarily used to parse
the width coefficient for X columns, during the rewriting process.
\tabu@Xcol TEX counter that locally stores the number of tabu X columns. Defined while rewriting the X token, it
is used in the specification of the width of the column (\tabu@hsize {Rank of the X column}{coef}).
It is also used to store the natural width of X columns (in the cases of a negativ coefficient or if tabu
spread is used).
\tabu@alloc A global counter whose initial value (1) is incremented for each nested tabular. The end of the outermost
\tabu@nested tabular globally resets the value to 1. \tabu@nested stores locally the value of \tabu@alloc and is
therefore the index of the current tabular (the one that is actually in construction).
This influences the initialisation process (cf. \tabu@setup and \tabu@init).
\tabu@start They are used locally by \tabucline and \everyrow while parsing the parameters: this is, for clarity,
\tabu@stop the local name for \@tempcnta and \@tempcntb.

28 \newcount \tabu@nested
29 \def\tabu@alloc@{\global\advance\tabu@alloc \@ne \tabu@nested\tabu@alloc}
\tabu@target TEX dimen that locally stores the tabu target (either to or spread).
\tabu@spreadtarget TEX dimen that locally stores the tabu spread given by the user.
\tabu@naturalX TEX dimen that globally stores the total natural widths of the X columns, in the cases of negativ
coefficients and/or tabu spread. The value is reset to 0pt at \everyrow, and maxima/minima are stored
into the macro \tabu@naturalXmin and \tabu@naturalXmax: those are required for the algorithm of
tabu spread (\tabu@spreadarith).
\tabucolX TEX dimen that locally stores the width corresponding to the preamble token X[1]: the standard width
of X columns.
\tabu@DELTA This is for clarity, the local name of \@tempdimc in \tabu@arith.
\tabu@thick They are used locally by \tabu@getline, while parsing the parameters for a line specification. This is for
\tabu@on clarity, the local name for \@tempdima, \@tempdimb and \@tempdimc.
\tabu@off
8. Package xcolor defines the \rownum TEX counter, which is globally updated at \everycr. Hence this \rownum counter is

\tabu@Xsum TEX dimen that locally stores the sum of all width coefficients for X columns. This is required to fix the
initial value for \tabucolX and then in the algorithms (\tabu@arith and \tabu@arithnegcoef).
38 \newdimen \tabu@Xsum
\extrarowdepth array.sty defines \extrarowheight as a TEX dimen register: the extra height to be finally added to each

row of a table. b defines \extrarowdepth in addition: the extra depth. Though \extrarowheight and
U
\extrarowdepth can be set by the user, the official interface is \extrarowsep.

\abovetabulinesep TEX dimensions \abovetabulinesep and \belowtabulinesep store the minimum allowed vertical space
\belowtabulinesep between the contents of the cells and their borders. Their values are ignored if non positive. Though they
can be set by the user, the official interface is \tabulinesep.
The philosophy and the technics are similar to the one provided by the cellspace package. However,
limitations of cellspace are lifted (nested tabu environments, use of colors... see the cellspace limitations in

the revision history). b inserts only one strut per line, whose name is \@arstrut.
U
\tabustrutrule The TEX dimen \tabustrutrule is here only for debugging purpose: its value must be 0pt. It behaves
mostly like TEX primitive \overfullrule, and allow to see the struts introduced in the tabular, and to
control vertical spacing. Setting \tabustrutrule to a positive value has no effect unless \tracingtabu is

we define a new box and \let \@arstrutbox to be that box inside the tabu environment.
Hence, the \@arstrutbox used by other tabular environment does not suffer any modification.
\tabu@hleads Those boxes are used to built horizontal and vertical leaders. In order not to rebuilt the boxes every time a
\tabu@vleads leader is inserted, the box is globally defined if a line style is specified (via |[line style] or \tabucline [line
style]{...} or \tabulinestyle {line style}.

Switches
\iftabu@colortbl The global switch \iftabu@colortbl is used by \rowfont when modifying the alignments, because colortbl
changes the glues put inside the \halign preamble to make standard alignments. This switch is set At
Begin Document.
\iftabu@siunitx Global switch set \AtBeginDocument. true if siunitx package is detected.
\iftabu@measuring This switch is somewhat magic in the sense that it has several meanings... It is temporarily set to true by
\tabu@arith in the trial group, to say that the tabu did not reach its target yet. It is also set to true in
the \@mkpream group when the first X column is encountered in the preamble. Finally, it is true in the
trialS group when the outermost tabular is in strategy number 2 or number 3.
\iftabu@spread A switch whether tabu spread is used or not. A nested tabu inside a X column whose coefficient is
negative has a default target set to spread 0pt.
\iftabu@negcoef A switch set to true in case of negativ coef (natural width if less than X[coef]).
\iftabu@everyrow A very important global switch: true when outside any tabu environment, true as well when inside a cell of
a tabu, but globally set to false at \everycr and therefore inside any \noalign command. This allows to
insert leaders (by \omit \span \omit \cr \noalign {...}) or first/last line corrections only once, even if
\everycr is executed more than once.
\iftabu@long Finally the swith \iftabu@long is set to true inside longtabu and to false inside tabu. This is convenient
because some setup are slightly different between tabu and longtabu.

\iftabuscantokens \iftabuscantokens is the switch for whether or not tabu will use \scantokens. Though the user can set
\tabu@rescan \iftabuscantokens to \iftrue or \iffalse, the official interface is tabu .
It does not make sense to use \scantokens in a nested tabu: only the outermost tabu can use \scantokens,
for the environment body must be collected with care !
\tabu@rescan is the helper macro for scanning tokens.

\taburulecolor colortbl provides \arrayrulecolor, but the definition is global and must be restores manually after the table.
\taburulecolor works with the same scheme as \everyrow: even if the definition of the rules colors must
be global (because we it can be changed inside the tabular) the value is not restored globally at the end of
the environment.
Instead, \tabu@arc@L stores locally the color definition (ie.its definition is relative to the group level
before the entry inside the tabu environment).
This is the same for \doublerulesepcolor (which may be given as an optional argument to \taburulecolor):

colortbl makes the definition global, while b keeps grouping level into mind (locally-global settings).

Parsing line styles

\tabu@getline This macro parses a line specification argument of the form:
3pt BlanchedAlmond on 4pt Crimsom off 2pt ForestGreen
Note that Crimson will overwrite BlanchedAlmond in this case: the color for the line dash may be
specified after the line width or after the line dash length.
The process uses \scantokens on the argument given by the user, which is first expanded in a context
where the babel switch \if@save@actives is set to true. Then \scantokens is used on the argument in a
group where the letter o is active, and defined to be a macro which rewrites the line specification.
Incidentally, the comma is active too, and expands to a space. This way the initial argument is genetically
modified, so that it becomes very easy to assign dimensions (thickness, dash length and gap length) and
colors separately.
For example: 3pt BlanchedAlmond on 4pt Crimson will be expanded in a context where o is active (and
equal to \tabu@oxiii, the xiii suffix means active ie.\catcode = 13).
Then the o in BlanchedAlmond is rewritten as follow:
1. o sees n after itself, then it expands \tabu@onxiii.
2. \tabu@onxiii sees a character whose catcode is not other, then the rewriting process is
aborted, and ond is rewritten as ond where the o is not active but the usual letter
o.
The next o is rewritten as follow:
1. o sees n after itself, then it expands \tabu@onxiii.
2. \tabu@onxiii sees a space (which is active): it calls back itself again,
3. \tabu@onxiii sees a character whose catcode is other: then the sequence on3 is rewritten
as:
\tabu@ \tabu@on =4pt Crimson
Finally the whole argument is rewritten as:
\tabu@ \tabu@thick =3pt BlanchedAlmond \tabu@ \tabu@on =4pt Crimson \tabu@ \tabu@
Define \tabu@ as an appropriate macro which uses \afterassignment to:
1. Assign the corresponding dimension (thickness, dash length or gap length).
2. Collect the rest until the next \tabu@, trim spaces and check if the color exists.
Limitation: A color name must not contain a sequence that matches on of the patterns:
...onha character of category 12 i... or ...offha character of category 12 i...
But this limitation is not too heavy, I suppose...

The result is \tabu@thestyle: a tabu line style to be used to rewrite a | column, for \tabucline.
We use locally the LATEX defined dimen registers \@tempdima, \@tempdimb and \@tempdimc. For
clarity, their names are \tabu@thick, \tabu@on and \tabu@off here...

\tabu@leadersstyle When a style is executed, it expands either \tabu@leadersstyle or \tabu@rulesstyle depending on whether
\tabu@rulesstyle or not it contains leaders (dashed lines) or simple rules (solid lines): TEX internals allow to insert solid lines
easily inside a tabular, while inserting leaders is more complex.
\tabu@leadersstyle eventually rebuilds the (horizontal and vertical) leaders boxes, and then define
two macros: \tabu@thevleaders and \tabu@thehleades, suitable to draw vertical and horizontal lines
respectively. Incidentally, \tabu@leaders is defined to be the parameters for the leaders.
\tabu@rulesstyle only defines the two macros \tabu@thevrule and \tabu@thehrule. The control sequence
\tabu@leaders is undefined so that we know if the style contains a leader or a rule.

\tabu@rewriteX This macro is expanded by during the rewriting process in case a X column is found.
\tabu@Xsum (a dimen) stores the sum of the (absolute) width coefficients.
For the first X column found in the preamble, a special setup occurs:
if the default target is used (no target specified or tabu spread with X columns), the target: \tabu@target
is set to the default, with a message in the .log file.
\@halignto is \let to \relax to avoid its expansion in \xdef \@preamble just after \@mkpream.
Indeed as long as we have to measure the natural width of the tabular, \@halign must be empty for
trial steps.
The rest of the setup is made \aftergroup (ie.after \xdef \@preamble which occurs inside a group) by
\tabu@prep@TRIAL.

cell belongs to, \tabu@hsize returns the wanted width for the par-box that contains the cell content.

Rewritting \usetabu and \preamble

The rewritting process is very simple, when all the job has been done cleverly at the time of \savetabu!!
The \savetabu macro is a bit more complex...
\usetabu (private column type) \usetabu is defined as a tabu new column type: loaded only inside the \@mkpream group
inside the tabu environment.
980 \tabu@privatecolumntype \usetabu [1]{%
981 \ifx\\#1\\\tabu@saveerr{}\else
982 \@ifundefined{tabu@saved@\string#1}
983 {\tabu@saveerr{#1}}

985 \csname tabu@saved@\string#1\expandafter\endcsname\expandafter\@ne}%
986 \fi
987 }% \NC@rewrite@\usetabu
\preamble (private column type) \preamble is defined as a tabu new column type: loaded only inside the \@mkpream
group inside the tabu environment.
988 \tabu@privatecolumntype \preamble [1]{%
989 \ifx\\#1\\\tabu@saveerr{}\else
990 \@ifundefined{tabu@saved@\string#1}
991 {\tabu@saveerr{#1}}
992 {\csname tabu@saved@\string#1\expandafter\endcsname\expandafter\z@}%
993 \fi
994 }% \NC@rewrite@\preamble
Controlling the rewritting process

\tabu@rewritefirst This new column type is not really a column type! It is always added to a tabu preamble in order to do
some setup before any other column is rewritten by \@mkpream.
Thus, \NC@list is simply set to {\NC@do \tabu@rewritefirst }. The rewritting of \tabu@rewritefirst
will restore the original list \NC@list.
This column type sets:
\tabu@select to be expanded \aftergroup (after the closing of the \@mkpream group. All the
thick is there: all information collected during the rewritting of X columns (and vertical lines
or leaders) can be reinjected into the group below the \@mkpream group, by the mean of the
U
b
56 / 101
U
\tabu@mkpreambuffer (globally defined).
The private columns types are loaded by \tabu@rewritefirst: they will be rewritten afterwards,
during the rewritting loop. This way, X column definition for tabu are only available during the
rewritting process of the tabu preamble, making it possible (and easy) to embed a tabularx inside a
cell of a tabu.
\save@decl is modified inside the \@mkpream group, if tabu is in text mode.

\tabu@rewritemiddleThis new column type is rewritten after X columns, because it is declared by when the column
\tabu@rewritelast \tabu@rewritefirst is actually rewritten. In the case where \tabu@target is > 0 (either because of tabu
to or tabu spread has been called) and if there is no X column, then @{\extracolsep \@flushglue } is
added at the beginning of the preamble.
To avoid duplicate margin in the tabu we have to test the next token in the preamble. If the next token is
| or ! then no margin must be added and @{\extracolsep \@flushglue } can be inserted at the beginning
of the preamble.
Otherwise, we must insert !{\extracolsep \@flushglue } in order to keep the margin.
\tabu@rewritelast column type is loaded by \tabu@rewritefirst column type, only inside the \@mkpream
group inside the tabu environment.

The end of the rewritting process: determining the tabu strategy
\tabu@endrewrite Determines the strategy to be executed \aftergroup (at the closing of the \@mkpream group):
0) There is no real strategy: tabu behaves like tabular, there no X column, and no need to
measure the vertical dimensions of the cells (no dynamic spacing, no vertical leader). In
case a target has been given to tabu, it behaves like tabular* and a infinite stretchability is
given to the column inter-space. This is done (if required) by \tabu@extracolsep.
1) Measuring natural width of some (or all) columns is compulsory for tabu spread of X
columns with negativ coefficients. Thereafter, the strategy nr 2 will bring into play.
2) Measuring the natural width is not necessary, or has been done before. But tabu contains
X columns and trials have to be performed to reach the desired target, adjusting the
\tabucolX dimension accordingly. Then, the strategy nr 3 may bring into play, if vertical
measure is required.
3) Vertical measure of the cells is required, for vertical spacing adjustment or vertical leaders.
This step can be done only if the width are known.

\tabu@select
\tabu@pream Triggered \aftergroup by the rewritting of \tabu@rewritefirst.
The \tabu@mkpreambuffer macro is expanded twice: first it injects \count@ (the strategy number) and
\tabu@nbcols, and redefines itself.
Second and only if measurements are necessary it expands into the trials group to inject \tabu@Xcoefs
(the coefficients of X columns), \tabu@Xsum (the sum of the absolute coefficients), \tabu@target,
\tabu@spreadtarget, and \tabu@vertical, which is the number by which one have to increment the
strategy number after step 2 (either 1: then a last measure is done for the vertical dimensions, or 255 then
the strategy number is > 3 and \tabu@strategy orders to finish.)

Collecting the tabu body

The macro collect the stuff inside \@array: depending on the global vertical alignment parameter for the
whole tabular, the tabular is built inside a \vbox, \vtop or \vcenter (the default unless tabu is nested).
At this time, we define \tabu@trial (which inherits from the \vbox, \vtop or \vcenter) and \tabu@Xfinish
as well.
\tabu@collectbody The mechanism is the same as AMS-\collect@body (also defined in environ.sty). The content of the

11.12 The algorithms: Measuring the tabu box

At the end of each trial, we call \tabu@arith (or \tabu@spreadarith) to computes the widths and update
the values.
At the exit, \iftabu@measuring is set to \iftrue: a further trial is necessary, or \iffalse: the target width
is reached.
The arithmetic of X columns: the tabu to case

\tabu@arithnegcoef This is a loop against the width coefficients. There is no \@for or \@whiles because \tabu@Xcoefs
stores the series in the form: \tabu@ {coef1} \tabu@ {coef2} \tabu@ {coef3}.
Thus, just \let \tabu@ to be \tabu@arith@negcoef and expand \tabu@Xcoefs!
The aim of the game is to neutralize some X columns: when their natural width are less than coef\tabucolX.

11.13 Measuring the natural width of columns (varwidth code from D.

Arseneau)
\tabu@startpboxmeasure The important job is done at the end: by \tabu@endpboxmeasure.
When tabu spread is used with X columns, the first trial must measure the natural width of the columns.
When X columns have negativ coefficient, the natural is computed after the target has been reached, with
the absolute coefficients.
Nested trials may occur (tabu spread inside a X column with negativ coefficient for example).
For the furthur trials, the standard scheme for X column is used: the natural width is measured only once.
pdfTEX font expansion is disabled inside the varwidth environment (we set \pdfadjustspacing to 0).

Compatibility with LATEXs kernel \verb command

\tabu@verb The \verb macro from the latex kernel expands \@ifstar in a context where the space token: has a
category code of 12.
This is not compatible with \scantokens since \scantokens adds a space after each control sequence,
including \verb:
\verb +some verbatim text+ becomes:
\verb +some verbatim text+
and thus, the space token is set as the \verb delimiter.
We therefore use (a silly) \@ifstar in order to gobble the possible space token.

1911 \def\tabu@verb{\@ifstar {\tabu@ltx@verb*} \tabu@ltx@verb}
Compatibility with the fancyvrb package

\tabu@FV@DefineCheckEnd This is quite the same issue as for LATEX \verb command: a space is inserted after each control
sequence scanned by \scantoken.
This leads to a break in the macro that checks the end of a Verbatim environment, since this macro
basically checks for a line that conforms to the pattern:
#1\end {#2}#3
while with \scantokens, such a line becomes:
#1\end {#2}#3
in a context where the space token is not of category 10 (space).
Thus we replace the end-check for the Verbatim environment by a check on the detokenized-line (with
-TEX \detokenize):

11.20 \rowfont
Setting font and alignment specification
\rowfont \rowfont uses the control sequences \tabu@celllalign, \tabu@cellleft, \tabu@cellright and
\tabu@cellralign which have been placed on purpose into the user-defined tokens inserted in any preamble by
the array package.
\tabu@celllalign and \tabu@cellralign are used to modify the alignment. If the optional [alignment]
parameter of \rowfont is not specified, then those control sequences expand to \@empty.
\tabu@cellleft contains the font-modification information.
Placement of those control sequences into the user-tokens that are inserted in the preamble by the array
package is explained below under the macro \tabu@prepnext@tok.

Preparing stuff to be able to use \rowfont

\tabu@prepnext@tok \tabu@prepnext@tok will replace \prepnext@tok defined in array.sty (only inside a tabu environment).
its purpose is to count the number of columns, and to insert the control sequences \tabu@celllalign,
\tabu@cellleft, \tabu@cellright and \tabu@cellralign at the edge of each cell of the tabular. This is
done by putting them inside the user-tokens placed around each column by the array package.
\prepnext@tok in array.sty initialises each user-token to an empty one, each time there is a need for a new
one ! The macro has a very simple definition, but it expansion is the occasion to look carefully at the
counters \count@ and \@tempcnta which gives us all information required to decide is the token in
preparation will be finally placed on the left or on the right of a column.
>{\bfseries
|
\color {red}}} r <{\color
{z
{black}\, \$ }
\toks 
| {z }
\toks 
When a column is inserted in the tabular preamble (\@preamble), the TEX counter \count@ is equal to
i + 1 (ie.the right token) and the counter \@tempcnta is equal to i (ie.the left token). If the column is
special (ie.@ or !) \@tempcnta is not updated.
Thus, when a new token is prepared by \prepnext@tok:
either: i =\count @ =\@ tempcnta : the token to prepare (ie.\toks ) is the right one of a
normal column. The switch \iftabu@cellright is set to true.

The previous token (\toks =\toks \count@) is necessarily the left one of this normal column:
we prepend \tabu@celllalign and append \tabu@cellleft to this token (\toks ). This token is
finished and will not change afterwards.
or: i =\count @ =\@ tempcnta+1 : the token to prepare (\toks ) is either the left one of a
normal column, or the single one of a special @ or ! column.
If the switch \iftabu@cellright is true, then the previous token \toks is the right one of the
last inserted column (which was a normal column, thus):, \tabu@cellright \tabu@cellralign is
appended to it, and the switch \ittabu@cellright is reset to false. May be \prepnext@tok will be
U
b
80 / 101
U
expanded again (by \save@decl): if it happens, then again \count@ =\@tempcnta +1 (same
case) but \iftabu@cellright is false and nothing is changed.
else: The token to prepare (which is \toks =\toks \count@ +1), cannot be the right one of a
normal column: \iftabu@cellright is set to false.
The fact that |\count@ \@tempcnta | > 1 tells us that the previous token \toks is
necessarily the single one of a special @ or ! column. We dont modify this token, as long as
special columns are always inserted as is: \rowcolor has no effect on special columns, nor \rowfont.
Thereafter, the original initialisation sequence occurs: \advance \count@ by\@ne and initialize the token
to prepare (\toks \count@ =\toks ) to an empty one.

delarray comptability fix for colortbl and arydshln

Both colortbl and arydshln forgot the control sequence \@arrayright which must be expanded by \endarray.
Originally defined for delarray, this control sequence is used by tabu environments when tabu X columns
are present in the preamble.
Here is the fix. We test if \endarray contains \@arrayright before modifying the control sequence, in case
colortbl and/or arydshln modify their definition.

arydshln, colors without colortbl and empty p columns

arydshln redefines \@endpbox for p columns. The definition is stored in \adl@act@endpbox. Here it is:
\unskip \ifhmode \nobreak
\vrule\@width\z@\@height\z@\@depth\dp\@arstrutbox
\fi
\egroup \adl@colhtdp \box\adl@box \hfil
The \vrule inserted is exactly what package array calls: \@finalstrut \@arstrutbox.
However, just like in array.sty, this array-strut should be inserted inconditionnally, and \ifhmode applies
only to \nobreak (misplaced \fi in arydshln definition).
Finally, arydshln is not compatible with colors in columns, such that: >{\color {red}}p3in, Unless colortbl
is also loaded, the color group is missing.

Initialisation and setup \AtBeginDocument

At the end of the tabu package:
\tracingtabu is set to 0: this initialises the message commands. Eventually t he value will be
overwritten by the debugshow package option later.
\everyrow is set to empty: this initialises the process at \everycr to the default process,
a new empty line style is defined, to be equivalent to \hline: this creates the default leaders, which
will be used if a line style specification cannot be parsed successfully.
Then this default line style is set to be the current one.
At Begin Document,a fix for arydshln and colortbl comptability with delarray shortcuts available inside tabu:
requirement for this fix is checked by \tabu@fix@arrayright.
Then the switch \iftabu@colortbl is set.
Finally, the longtabu environment is defined only if the longtable package is detected.

13 History
[2011/02/26 v2.8]
Bug in the starred version (with \scantokens) of the longtabu environment.
[2011/02/25 v2.7]
Automatic \par after the end of the tabu environment used with its default target is
removed in case of tabu spread: this was a bug.
Some \ignorespaces were missing (in \everyrow, \taburulecolor, \taburowcolors and
\tabulinestyle).
[2011/02/24 v2.6]
\savetabu now also saves \tabulinesep (ie.\abovetabulinesep and \belowtabulinesep)
Bug fixed for custom-environments when nested.
\taburulecolor works even if colortbl is not loaded for the tabu environment.
This is now the same for the longtabu environment.
[2011/02/19 v2.5]
Bug fixed for \pdfelapsedtime when compilation without pdfTEX.
Modification of \@finalstrut (null-rule added) to avoid problems with \columncolor.
[2011/02/17 v2.4]
Documentation revisited
[2011/02/13 v2.3]
Fixed two bugs for nested tabu environment: when using \rowfont and when tabu is
nested inside longtabu
[2011/02/12 v2.2 New implementation - Absolutely no modification of array.sty]

b has been totally reimplemented, including the algorithms.
U
In particular, outside of the tabu environment, absolutely none of the macros of array.sty,
(and obviously none of LATEX) is modified.
The process has been completely reinvented: tabu follows a path along different modes (or
strategies) measuring natural width of cells, fixing X column widths, measuring vertical
length of rows and then printing the final tabular. The process is optimized, especially in
the case of nested tabu environments: a tabular is not built twice for measuring purpose...
As a result, many new features are now possible... vertical leaders (dashed lines), dynamic
vertical spacing adjustment, and hopefully still more in a next release.
tabu now systematically collects the environment body. But with \scantokens, it is possible
to insert verbatim material inside the columns: use tabu* instead of tabu, for the outer
most tabular.
U
b
91 / 101
U New: \firsthline and \lasthline can draw multiple lines, and there is an option to set
\extratabsurround instantly, and locally.
New: \taburulecolor with a good behaviour with groupings (like \everyrow)
Modification: \tabulinestyle sets the line style for the tabu, \newtabulinestyle defines a
new line style.
This is the new b package
U

Vertical spacing had a bug with longtabu and paragraph columns.
Fixed.
New: \everyrow.
Fix a bug of \rowfont when using siunitx S columns.
Some code optimisation.
To do (if possible): a syntax X[6mc]S[...] to embed siunitx S column inside tabu and
longtabu X columns...
[2011/01/18 v2.0]
Vertical spacing of lines implemented ! See \tabulinesep and \extrarowsep.
\tabulinestyle : user defined line style can now be used inside the optional argument of the
|[...] preamble token.
|[...] is now allowed in \multicolumn preamble inside tabu environment.
Bug fixed inside \tabu@prepnexttok (again !!! - a difficult case !)
Incompatibility of package cellspace with tabu spread and tabu with negativ coefficients for
X columns with has been lifted.
However, as said in the documentation of package cellspace, S column modifier does not
work in the case of nested tabulars.
The S column modifier becomes C when the package siunitx is loaded (see siunitx
documentation).
Moreover, cellspace does not work with color or xcolor and paragraph column types !!
Finally, cellspace redefines globally \@startpbox and \@endpbox and is therefore not

fully compatible with array.sty and therefore with b .
U

For all those reasons, b displays a warning to discourage the use of cellspace with the
U
tabu environment.

Slight modifications for better reporting on the .log file.

Fix a bug when \savetabu is used after \multicolumn (\multicolumn globally redefines
\@preamble).

[2010/12/07 v1.5]
Implementation of negativ width coefficients for X columns (cf. tabu X columns Mastering
horizontal space point 2).
Columns natural widths computation (for tabu spread with X columns and negativ
coefficients) is based on the code of the varwidth package by Donald Arseneau.
longtabu is now provided, based on the longtable package by David Carlisle.
longtabu can be used just like tabu.
Vertical lines can be used whatever the catcode of | is.
\savetabu reports saved informations in the .log (debugshow option).
\savetabu... \usetabu now restores the \halign preamble rather than the tabu preamble!
\preamble can be use in the tabu preamble to restore a tabu preamble.
\tabucline is more robust with special preambles containing > or < tokens.
\tabucline now takes care of \arrayrulecolor (package colortbl).
enumitem-zref package has been added to the documentation (see the link point 1)
Optimisation of some parts of the code.
[2010/11/22 v1.4]
Compatibility improvement with linegoal for the syntax:
\begin {tabu} to\linegoal {...}
Hyper footnotes now work correctly.
Fix a bug when using colored vertical lines in tabu in math mode.
Fix a bug with vertical lines and colortbl \arrayrulecolor specification.
Fix a compatibility bug with arydshln: when nesting a tabular that use vertical dashed lines
(arydshln) inside tabu spread with X columns.
[2010/11/18 v1.3]
Fix a bug that may appear in \tabucline depending on the preamble due to arbitrary
\countdef.
Improvement in the use of \everycr: no \global stuff. Thus bug fixed when nesting tabu
inside AMS-align environment for example. Same issue with \rowfont which now works
without global modification of \everycr.
No phantom line is added to tabu but a command \tabuphantomline is provided for this
purpose (required with \multicolumn in some cases).
Improvement on vertical alignment.
